Hmmm, you've go over 5,000 posts. Maybe YOU are placing too much importance on this board? How many hours a day (and over how many YEARS) do you spend finding ways to bicker with other people instead of doing something constructive? Don't you have anything better to do with your time?

I engage in occasional constructive bickering.

I enjoy many crafts and hobbies.

I have been participating on The Cellar since about (actual date is lost in the mists of history, but coincides with moving into current apartment) 1994, or maybe 1993. Being here is not about post count.

If the Intellectual Baseball Bat™ is to be brought out, it will only be because it needs a bit of shining and oiling to ready it for actual usage at some later date.

Sorry, but when it's the same people saying the same things over and over it's not funny anymore. And 99 44/100's post above wasn't exactly light-hearted. I've tried to make upbeat posts on other threads, and someone always pipes in with a vicious remark about vegetarians or a picture of a dead animal. Thanks for trying, I really appreciate it. But I just don't find that to be very funny.

It's only been a couple of days. Stick around long enough to learn everyone else's hot buttons, and then you can push right back.

Much appreciated...thanks!

To me, personal insults are what make the internet a truly amazing place.

Ass.

[slang]

Dumb ass....or wiseass....or asshole.....or asshead....or asshat? Your comment seems a bit incomplete.

[xoxoxoBruce]

Don't be judgmental, you damn fool idiot.

[ThreadHijackMan]

So............

What'd you all have for dinner tonight??

What!? That could fall on either side of the debate here.

Just trying to get this going in a slighty different direction.

[Clodfobble]

there are a few dozen folks that post regularly and have developed the internet version of respect for each other over the course of many discussions.

I really like that phrase. Like it's not real respect, but it's INTERNET respect. Word.

...Asswipe? ...Assmunch? ...Asscookie?

NothingButNet wrote a beautiful Haiku about celery that was lost in the crash...but, I digress.

SO. You can pole-vault? And you like celery?

[Carbonated_Brains]

I high-jump. Poles are for cheaters.

She's a four hairs from "soggy tart" status.

Hahahaha. Lovely

It's clear that sarcasm is difficult to convey over the internet. Even I know that, and my only contribution to the Cellar that survived the crash is a limerick about xoxoxoBruce. Perhaps this "internet" should be replaced by a massive network of letters, with small polaroids attached to indicate emotion. Sure, it would piss off the postal service, but they always love a challenge.
